| Nov 11 at 11:25 | comment | added | Ahmed | @StuartF, I am about the first one, "if you do actually try, you'll succeed." | |
| Nov 11 at 11:22 | comment | added | Stuart F | "If at first you don't succeed..." or "Shit or get off the pot"? It's not clear what the meaning is - is it saying that if you do actually try, you'll succeed, or is it saying to do the work regardless of whether it succeeds or fails? There are lots of ways to refer to someone stopping being lazy and getting down to it. | |

Improved deliverance of words...

| Nov 9, 2018 at 2:30 | comment | added | Ahmed | @Zebrafish, I was requesting single-worded verb substitute to the verb administer which I misused in title and the body of my question. Overall, I am surely requesting a proverb here, nether verb and nor any idiom. | |

| Nov 8, 2018 at 18:20 | comment | added | Zebrafish | "single-worded verb" or proverb? How do you like the answer below? "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" | |

Spelling of administer.
|
| Nov 8, 2018 at 17:08 | comment | added | Ahmed | @Laurel, exactly, I mean 'works to improve'. So can you please suggest a single-worded verb for it? | |
| Nov 8, 2018 at 17:06 | comment | added | Laurel♦ | "Administers" isn't idiomatic (or clear) in the sense that you're using it here. I think you mean something along the lines of "works to improve" or "shapes up"... | |
